BARCELONA, Spain, May 16, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Freightos (NASDAQ: CRGO), the vendor-neutral
booking and payment platform for the international freight
industry, is pleased to expand the collaboration between WebCargo
by Freightos and United Cargo (NASDAQ: UAL). In an industry which
is still mostly offline, WebCargo is proud to be a key
technology partner developing United Cargo's state-of-the-art
self-service online cargo portal and is proud to further expand
this collaboration.
Recently, United Cargo has furthered its relationship with
WebCargo by joining WebCargo's digital cargo booking platform. By
offering services on the WebCargo platform, United Cargo is now
positioned to provide its customers an additional online booking
option. This booking channel complements its current website
capabilities and gives customers a choice in how to access and book
United Cargo's available capacity. United Cargo is currently active
on the platform for customers in Belgium, France, Germany, the
Netherlands, Switzerland,
and the United Kingdom, with plans
to expand availability to U.S. and Canadian customers later in
May.
"Our customers are seeking new ways to communicate and book with
us. The enhanced booking functionality on our website, along with
our participation in the WebCargo marketplace, are two new booking
options for our customers. It's another step forward in delivering
an even better customer experience," said Jan Krems, United Cargo
President. "We are excited about these advancements and our
collaboration with the WebCargo team spanning both our portal and
the WebCargo platform," Krems added.
WebCargo has secured an active role in United Cargo's digital
journey. Per Manuel Galindo, Chief
Revenue Officer at Freightos, "We're thrilled to have partnered
with United Cargo in support of its mission to deliver a
world-class customer digital experience. It's no secret, there is a
rapid adoption of eBookings, particularly across Europe and the Americas. By combining United
Cargo's booking portal with the thousands of forwarders on the
WebCargo and 7LFreight booking platform, forwarders large and small
can now access United Cargo services 24/7, wherever they
choose."
Forwarders not yet using WebCargo can register for free at
webcargo.co/united.
